ChainCatcher reports that FTX founder SBF has formally appealed his fraud convictions, seeking a new trial and accusing the judge who presided over his case of unfair bias against him.

Last November, a New York jury found SBF guilty on seven counts of fraud and conspiracy related to the collapse of his cryptocurrency exchange in November 2022. In March, US District Judge Lewis Kaplan of the Southern District of New York (SDNY) sentenced SBF to 25 years in prison, where he has served six months.

In a 102-page appeal filed Friday afternoon, SBF’s lawyers argue that Judge Kaplan was unfair to the FTX founder throughout the trial, making “derogatory remarks that undermined the defense” and “mocking” his testimony before the jury.
